Hello & welcome Fockskey

I'm one of the sensible ones (honest), so even though I have treated myself to a few shiny mods, I've still saved an absolute fortune

Hi vape inspector and welcome. Just wait until the mixing bug hits lol.

Err, I'm afraid that has already hit...... I've been mixing for the last couple of weeks! When I get the bug, I get it bad. Especially as I will do everything to stay off the smokes. Experimenting with custard at the moment. Mmmmm.

    Fockskey good to hear, especially after 40 years. My advice is, find what works for you, then hide your bank card and close your PayPal account!

And how's that advice working out for you Raffles ? 

Hi Fockskey and 


I'm at a similar stage in my vaping journey and I'm desperately trying to curb my shinyitis by going a little OCD with the mixology...  I reckon if I don't spend anything else until March, I might be close to breaking even!

Not too bad lairey... I haven't closed my PP account, that was 'tongue in cheek'... but apart from topping up juices, heads etc, I've resisted the shineys. I've an MVP V1 plus a couple of Spinners, and 3x650 ego batteries from when I first started (if I'm desperate). In nearly 18 months I've saved nearly £3k. Would no sooner think of a fag than.... XXX!

I'm kind of hoping that once the initial obsessiveness passes I'll just be shopping for replacements.... who am I trying to kid!!!!

Who needs a Bentley when a Ford will get you from A to B. Yes, it would be nice but everything glitzy wears off and you just need something that works! The other plus is looking at your bank account.

Hey up, another fairly newbie noob here. How are you getting on with the custard? I bought some vanilla custard cause the idea sounded good but mmmmm, nope, it's horrible lol. Well so far anyway. Maybe I haven't got the hang of it or maybe just need to add it to something else as a tint.


Be warned too, I spent 60 odd quid within a few days of joining here!

I don't mix custards myself as I don't think I like it. But I have heard they take about a month to steep

Welcome to the AAEC vapeinspector

[Fockskey]

The custards are the smoothest flavours, this is suiting the vamping I do at the moment. I have been using the custard flavour from Lakeland! A nice rich rounded taste at about 10% into the base mix of 16mg 50/50. I haven't tried steeping the mix after, I haven't felt the need. I thought that you would only need to steep if using alcohol based liquids. I know some flavours improve with age.
